"How Much Does It Cost?"

Often times, on big purchases, the question asked is how much does it cost a month, not how much does it actually cost! 


Myth: Managing debt well, allows you to grow wealth.

Truth: Debt holds you back from being able to grow wealth.


Just as the rich rules over the poor, the borrower is servant to the lender.  - King Solomon

Is It Worth the Investment?

According to Sherpa Angie Ward, not all investments pay off. 

It can be a great product or service, but it might not make a profit. 

Looking at the numbers will help you be wise. 

What are the signs of a good investment?

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

If you don't have the money, you shouldn't buy it. 

Get Ahead by Managing Your Money

Start by writing down all your expenses and determining how much money is coming in monthly. Create categories for the expenses including savings and giving. Allocate the money coming in to the designated categories. Calculate all your expenses and compare to how much money you bring home. When you subtract the numbers you should come up with zero. Putt will help you determine if you can afford something. The idea is for you to tell your money where to go so you don't pay extra in debt charges. 

A BUDGETing TOOL!

If you can manage your own money, you might be in line for a promotion or be able to manage your own business! Every Dollar Counts is a great budgeting tool for anyone.

Every dollar counts

Managing your own money is a transferable skill that can then lead to managing a business.

Can Debt Help You Get Rich?

Dave Ramsey got ahead when he stopped taking financial advice from someone who was broke.

Who's advice do you take? Do you have a financial mentor who is not broke? 


According to a proverb by King Solomon, who some say was the wisest man:

“The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.” 

When Dave was confronted with this proverb, he had to really consider who was right—his broke finance professor, who taught that debt is a tool, or the author of the proverb, who never has anything good to say about debt and was very wealthy.

Myth: Debt is a tool and should be used to help create prosperity.
Truth: Debt isn’t used by wealthy people nearly as much as we are led to believe.
